YSL Le Vestiaire des Parfums Cuir is oud with the attitude of a black leather blazer: dark, polished and impossible to ignore. Part of the couture wardrobe of fragrances from Yves Saint Laurent, it turns one of perfumery’s most treasured woods into something sharp, sleek and modern.
Why you will love YSL Le Vestiaire des Parfums Cuir
Most oud fragrances lean heavy and smoky. Cuir takes a different path, pairing a rare oud with a surprising green twist so it feels tailored rather than dense.
- Built around a precious oud sourced from trees around 80 years old.
- Leathery, woody and ambery facets give it real depth and presence.
- Violet leaf adds a cool green edge with a soft floral touch that keeps the oud crisp.
- Created by Master Perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, a Grasse native with a deep love of natural materials.
- A couture-inspired scent from the private Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection.
- Unisex by design, so it suits anyone who likes bold, confident fragrances.
- A striking statement bottle that looks as refined on a dresser as it smells on skin.
The scent
Cuir opens with the cool, slightly green sparkle of violet leaf, which lightens the first impression and adds a soft floral nuance. The heart is all about the oud: deep, dark and faintly animalic, with a supple texture that reads like worn black leather. As it settles, woody and ambery facets come forward, leaving a smooth, magnetic trail that feels polished rather than smoky.
Who it is for
Cuir is for men and women who want oud without the clichés, people who love leather, woods and a little edge in everything they wear. It works beautifully for evenings, dinners and special occasions, and it makes a memorable gift for a true fragrance lover who already owns the classics.
How to use it
Spray on pulse points such as the neck, wrists and behind the ears from about 15 cm away. Do not rub your wrists together. One or two sprays are enough, as this is a rich scent that speaks for itself. For a softer effect, mist it onto clothing or a scarf.
